Woodfolk House

Woodfolk House is an urban intentional community. It's waist full and less fun to have only a few people living in a big house, so a bunch of people all live in it together. They all have separate jobs and incomes, but share meals and house hold chores. Their small yard is packed with as many gardens and fruit trees as they could fit.
I stayed at that full house for one evening as I traveled west to Lexington.
Living in community is not just for hippies in the woods, but really easily applicable to every day living. Before large personal homes could be built so cheaply and before you could get everything you need at the super market, most of the world lived in a form of a community for the vast majority of history. Living independently and alone in your house is a recent construct.
